Students who major in Latin American Studies pursue careers in governmental and non-governmental agencies throughout Latin America and the US in areas such as border protection, customs, environmental protection, public health, human rights advocacy, economic development and international relations among many others. Majors in Latin American Studies may also pursue graduate study in Latin American Studies, Language and Literature, History, Sociology, Anthropology or Public Health. Some majors elect to begin a teaching career through programs such as Teach for America while others serve in the Peace Corps. Whatever your chosen career path, a degree in Latin American Studies can help you navigate through it.
